madness
isn’t something
you explain
it is wholly
something you
experience

there are no
answers
no great epiphanies
in falling apart

fhere is anguish
loss
indeterminate stretches
where nothing is sure
but nothingness

i can make you
feel madness
but after that
is between you
and your demons

mine ask for things
this life doesn’t give

i prefer madness
i may always be alone
but i never really am
weighed down by consciousness
untethered by desire
i am the culmination
of absolute absolution

i hear the ocean
and try my damnedest
to not think about her
